When dying slaves were brought in from Zion, the territory held its first public blessing and healing ceremony under the personal supervision of the self-proclaimed high priest Velen.

The territory summoned all the citizens who could spare the time to come and watch, and they gathered in the newly built holy hall. There were as many as five or six hundred people. The entire holy hall was almost full of people except for the altar and the altar.

Separating the people from the holy altar is a row of recently selected prophet guards. They are wearing bright armor and carrying powerful weapons. They are all strong and sturdy, solemn and dignified, making the entire holy hall full of an imposing aura.

All the people in the territory only dared to whisper to each other, not knowing why the territory leaders, who had been so busy recently, were making all this secretive move.

After a while, the high priest Velen, wearing a dark black robe with a gold-threaded hem, walked calmly to the altar under the dais. He looked around with dignity and said in a deep voice:

"quiet--!"

The prophet's guards in the front row had rehearsed in advance. Upon hearing the sound, they slammed their spears to the ground in unison. After six consecutive "dong dong, dong dong, dong dong" sounds, the entire holy hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing that the Holy Hall had quieted down, Velen was very satisfied with the training results of the Prophet's Guards. He cleared his throat and continued:

"We respectfully invite the only true God - the creator of the world, the omnipotent and omniscient, merciful and compassionate Supreme God who rewards good and punishes evil - the great Lord of Castle Standing, Master X!"

Velen's words were sonorous, powerful, and majestic, and his tone became higher and higher with each word. By the time he mentioned Aix's name, he was almost shouting it out.

His voice, enhanced by the arc-shaped wall behind the altar, was not only loud but also had a slight echo, making it sound so powerful and penetrating that even young men in their prime could not catch up.

A series of imposing words of introduction directly brought Aix's style to its fullest. Aix was wearing a very ordinary gray linen robe, and the chain mail underneath made him look particularly sturdy and majestic. Under everyone's silent gaze, he took steady and natural steps and climbed to the center of the altar.

Following closely behind Aix were two girls, Aisu and Ran Ying, each wearing a pure white robe. Their dress was simple and elegant, beautiful and charming, with a natural aura of holiness. They are now called saints in the Church of the Supreme God, and their main responsibility is to serve Aix, the only prophet of the Supreme God on earth, and to spread the gospel of the Supreme God on earth on behalf of Aix.

When Aix stood still, the two girls also stood naturally behind him, on his left and right sides, like two flowers stuck in cow dung, which made the wealthy Aix's personality almost break through to godhood.

After standing still, Aix, with a calm and compassionate expression, looked around at the people below the altar who were looking up at him in admiration, and said in a calm and gentle tone:

"The Supreme God loves all living beings, the Supreme God tests all living beings, and the Supreme God achieves all living beings."

After saying this, he spread his hands and continued:

"The Supreme God is merciful and cannot bear to see people die with resentment in their hearts. He has sent down his divine power and used me to save all suffering beings."

After hearing this, High Priest Velen said loudly:

"Most High God, have mercy! The prophet loves his people like his own children, and cannot bear to see his people fall into hell after death with resentment. Now please use your divine power to bring the souls of the dying people back from hell, grant them new life, and bring them to the altar!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the heavy door of the Holy Hall, which had been closed, was pushed open by two prophet guards. A cool breeze blew in from the central hall outside, as if bringing the chill from hell, causing the people outside the Holy Hall to shiver uncontrollably.

Four solemn-looking guards of the prophet carried in a white slave on a specially made stretcher.

The white slave's body was covered with scars, with wounds everywhere oozing blood. He looked extremely miserable. Every time the stretcher moved forward, he seemed to be shaking in pain, and he couldn't help but let out a faint groan.

The scene was so tragic that some of the people on both sides of the passage couldn't bear to look at it. Some even had bad memories brought back and couldn't help sobbing.

In fact, this slave only looked miserable on the surface, because he had just been abused and beaten by Rogge's guarding soldiers yesterday. The new wounds all over his body were particularly shocking, but he was far from being on the verge of death, so he was picked out by Velen to be the first to show his divine power. It was this huge contrast effect that was wanted to reflect the power of the Supreme God.

However, the injuries displayed by this white slave were already very frightening. Judging from the actual situation at the moment, all the subjects present had actually sentenced this white slave to death in their hearts. With such injuries, they thought in their hearts that this white slave could not be saved.

After the four prophet guards carried the white slave to the altar, they stood two on each side of the altar. Aix stepped forward, put his hand over the white slave's head and muttered:

"The Supreme God loves all living beings, tests all living beings, and makes all living beings successful. Since you have resentment, come back from hell soon. The Supreme God will be merciful and grant you a new life!"

After saying that, he withdrew his hand, put on a confident smile, and waited there quietly without saying a word.

Soon the white slave lying on the altar began to tremble. He first trembled slightly, then his shoulders unconsciously shrugged, and his legs unconsciously kicked down. The people who were close to him actually found that the wound of the white slave on the altar was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few moments, the wound that was originally bloody and fleshy was actually scabbed.

Following a long groan, the white slave on the altar first stretched out his body straight, then curled up like a shrimp, and his body kept shaking violently. That was because his wounds were healing rapidly and his whole body was itchy.

After shaking for about two minutes, the white slave's body gradually calmed down, his breathing became steady, and he began to snore so loudly that it could be heard nearby. He actually fell into a deep sleep.

But how could X let him waste so many people's time? According to the settings, when all the nano-micro robots were withdrawing their core machines, Nana would give him an electric shock to wake him up from his sleep.

Sure enough, the white slave had not slept for a minute when he suddenly made a "hmm" sound, and his body straightened up. Then he bounced and rolled down from the altar. After landing, he immediately stood up tremblingly, and at the same time, he turned his head to look around with a look of fear on his face, his eyes rolling around, just like a healthy person who was awakened from his sleep, and there was no sign of dying at all.

This scene made all the people present gasp in shock. They had truly seen a dying person come back to life. The best illustration of the situation was that at this moment, due to the violent thrusting of the white slave's body, some of the scabs on his wounds began to fall off, revealing the white and tender skin underneath, as delicate as a freshly peeled egg.

Seeing this, Velen knew that the time was almost right, and said loudly to all the people in front of him:

“Since you have seen the grace of God, why don’t you worship?!”

The smart and attentive ones in the audience immediately knelt down and kowtowed. The dazed, slow-reacting, and those who didn't understand also knelt down and kowtowed to Aix. Even the white slave who had just recovered seemed to understand something when everyone in the audience knelt down, and he knelt down to Aix with a guilty conscience.
